I'm hoping someone with a better understanding of the process can advise me.
My DD 20 has an unconditional place at Oxford Brookes to study Anthropology, but with a foundation year as she didn't get the grades they require. She's taken 2 years out to travel and work full-time while she decides what she wants to do and can now start in Sept 2019.
It appears that she could apply for 2020 entry as a mature student without the necessary grades, so why would she do an extra year with all the costs that that entails, when she could save the money and start a year later with the same qualifications?
Perhaps I'm missing something here, but does 2 years' of working and travelling count for nothing as far as unis are concerned?
